As you probably all know now (previous post) I had a wonderful swap with Agi from Scrapowe-Lowe! I showed you the beautiful blanket I have received and now it's turn for notebooks I have sent to Agi! :)

I made her two notebooks but of course I forgot to make some photos of the second one!! The one below is made of a tourquoise corduroy with a Volkswagen T1.

The Volkswagen T1 is machine embroidered. It was quite difficult and it didn't really come out as I imagined... but Agi says she likes it so I'm super happy;p

It has 400 pages size A6 with rough edges and it's closed with a white elastic band :)

I missed making notebooks with rough edges!! ;d I love how they look!

The other notebook is smaller; it has 200 pages A6 and the cover is made from thick canvas. It looks like one of the 'notebook' journals I made earlier.

I love blog swaps! It's like barter, haha, but it's so much more fun!

Thank you again Agi for this wonderful swap! ♥

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I have to learn all day today! Ugh..

I have no time for sewing, crafting or anything pleasant now! Uh.. but about two weeks ago I made (and forgot to show you) a spiralbound planner with a wonderful blue&white chevron pattern and with three separating cards made from beautiful SODAlicious papers! :)

The size is A6 and it has 200 white pages.

Perfect for every bag because it's small, handy and it's cover is quite thick.

I completely forgot to show you the Weekender Traveller Bag which I have sewn for my dear friend Asia! I finished it in April and I was doing it really a long time..

I used Amy Buttler's pattern which I bought few months ago (January? February?)

I have to admit that this pattern was really hard to understand for me.. and I know I will never buy a pattern like this again. Books are better for me - you have photos etc. showing you what to do (if you don't know something from the text). And.. well.. I have to admit my english isn't that good.. :( I have to practice more o.O

I was sewing it ages.. seriously AGES. I thought that I will never finish this bag.. good I had a really good motivation -> it was a gift for my lovely Asia! :) ♥

It's ENORMOUS! It is really perfect for a weekend trip! Oh and please don't judge which fabrics I have used.. I used them because only these striped ones I had in the perfect amount (2m each). Below you can see how the zipper looks - it's the first time I sewed it like that :) It was the biggest challenge for me;p

Here you can see the interior.. it has two small pockets for a phone and some documents..

And on the last photo (I know it's awful!) I wanted to show you how big it is in compraison with.. me;p It was really weird when I put 2 quite big pillows inside and there was still some space!! Incredibly big bag!

I'm so happy Asia likes it and that it arrived really fast to her!! I hope you like it too :)

Ohh and sorry for the mess at the last photo!!! I'm a bit sloppy sometimes..

Have a wonderful day!!

My day is full of tests.. I'm so stressed lately!! Keep your fingers crossed for my exams;p

A while ago I have organised a 'little' blog swap with Agi from Scrapowe-Love.

I was really shocked when she told me she will make a granny square blanket for me!

Isn't it the most beautiful crochet blanket you have ever seen? Well for me it is!

It's big - perfect for cold evenings with books, and the quality of it is seriously amazing!

Colours are perfect! I just can't say how thankful I am Agi!! And can't stop staring at it!♥

If you don't know Agi's blog you should visit it right a way! It's very inspiring and colorful!

Thank you so so soooooooooooooo much! ♥

Oh and here something for people interested in buying (note)books in my shop.

If you want to buy something it's a good moment - I'm giving a 20% off discount for every blog reader :) Just copy the coupon code: BLOGDISCOUNT when you will be making the transaction and you will get the discount :) Of course it works with every country :) I don't care if you are from Poland or from USA :)

If you will have some problems activating the discount please contact me I will help! :)

This one is about collections. Another topic from SP. I really like how it came out! :)

And the last page is '21 before 22' but the part with so called challenges was a bit

private and very ugly.. so I'm just showing the upper part! ;d

I hope I have inspired you to make your own art-journal pages.. I try different techniques but I have to admit that making stains with ink and watercolours is my favourite one! This technique is so colorful and full of energy! I really really hope you like some of these pages! ;d

I was in cinema today on 'Dark Shadows' - it was a funny, colorful movie and I loved how everything looked! I had a really nice day with Bee at the cinema and then at Pogoria II Lake.. And thank you Bee for this nice photo of me! :))

First art-journal challenge at SOD▲licious! If you don't know what is it all about just click here to read more. The first challenge is about 'the beginning'.. I made two pages because I didn't really like the first one.. you can see it below - something is wrong with it ;p

The second page looks much better in my opinion.. more colour and energy in this one :)

I used supplies from SODAlicious of course :) I really love every single item in this shop.. Everything is so freaking inspiring!♥I hope you like my journal pages.. Soon you will see a lot more!

Everyone know what macarons are. Everyone saw it on the internet and was delighted by how they look.. rainbow of coulours and tastes.. but have you ever really tried how they taste? I wanted to try them for a long time but I couldn't find them anywhere here in Poland. Eventually.. yesterday we decided to make some by ourselves! :)

I thought that they are so freaking expensive because of how much time

you have to spent doing them and because they are hard to make.

Well, surprise.. they are very easy to make and the ingredients aren't expensive!

We made macarons for the first time.. so as you can see on the photos they aren't perfect..

but I love them! ♥ Amazingly delicious and super sweet!

The original colour was creamy but we used a blue food colour to make them more fun :)
